Story
A second chance at life.
I first became aware of Open Road through my work as an Essex magistrate. Often those with an addiction entering the Criminal Justice System have stolen, assaulted or worse because of their dependency on drugs or alcohol. Most are leading hopeless,helpless and chaotic lives and by the time they appear in court have reached rock bottom. In the process they can also have destroyed the lives of those who care about them most.
With the careful guidance and support which Open Road provides, their lives can be and are transformed. Individuals who had no future become useful,paid up members of society. More often than not they return to Open Road as volunteers to help others in need. This is a truly remarkable organisation with an exceptional 75% success rate. In our world it is sadly a much needed force for good. I am proud to be one of the Patrons of Open Road and hope you feel able, by supporting me,to help it continue its inspirational work. Thank you
